"Nick & Sams rocks. Our son who lives out of town usually requests dinner here when he visits, and every time we go I remember why. The service is superb. We had the unfortunate situation of one of our party being more than 30 minutes late past our resrvation time. There is no rule that a party cannot be seated until everyone arrives - which we have thought silly in the past but had some appreciation of why this time. However, not only were we seated as soon as we requested, the management never made us feel like we should be moving along, and though it was a Wednesday night, it was busy! We were treated with some "extras" which is always appreciated. We will be going back - as soon as another special occasion arises."

"It started a little rocky. We had reservations for 9pm but wasn't seated until 9:35, after we had started to walk out. Once we were seated, the service was superb. I can honestly say, that I have never been treated quite the way we were that night. It made up for the delay in being seated. It was a little loud but I would definitely recommend this resturant."

"The food was great and service was very good. I made reservations for my Husbands birthday for 7pm. However we were finally seated at 7:40pm. I believe if you are going to take the time to reserve a table then that table should be ready. Other than the long wait, the food was excellent!"

"The service was not quite up to Nick & Sams standards and it was not a busy night. We like the new interior look.

The cut of meat we had contained a lot of grissle. The quality of the meat did not seem to be of usual quality."

"Food was outstanding and presentation was awesome! Reservation was disappointing. Made a week in advance due to a special occasion. Arrived early for bar and check-in. After arrival still were not seated until forty-minutes past our designated time. No place to sit for wait. Appeared as though hostess and manager had certain favorites they seated in front of reservations because there was a steady stream of individuals that were seated after walking in past our reservation time. Overall the first time impression was good."

"The gf and I went on March 5, 2010. The service was top-notch, so I'll cut to the main course. I had a Prime 'Bone-in' Filet, and the gf had what was listed under current specials as some Kobe steak (I do not remember the cut),served with pan-fried soba noodles, both Medium.
The Prime Filet was fantastic. The meat was very tender, and had excellent flavor. However, the Kobe steak was WAY less than par (for Kobe) - it was very fatty and chewy. To their credit, our waiter noticed us and sent the manager, who asked what was wrong and offered a new steak. I declined, because 1) I'd never tried a Kobe steak so didn't know if I was out of line, 2) I appreciated the kind gesture on a busy night, and 3) the gf and I had a show to catch."

"Quite possibly the best, most romantic dining experience I've ever had the pleasure to experience. We arrived about 20 minutes prior to our reservation and were promptly offered complimentary Icelandic Caviar to make the wait more comfortable. Following up the trend of prompt service we were seated in one of the best seats in the house to the minute of our reservation, to find rose petals scattered on the table and a hand written card from the restaurant wishing us a happy anniversary! The chateau-briand was magnificent and at the suggestion of the Wine Manager we paired it with a fantastic bottle of red. To top it off our desert had happy anniversary written on it in chocolate. We will definitely be coming back, impeccable service 5 stars!"

"A place to be seen hobnobbing with the well-heeled. Very busy on a Tuesday night. 95% men...a lot of business types (like myself). Service was a little slow. Place was loud and server quiet. This coming from someone who likes it loud. Beautiful artwork. Cool ambiance. Food was very good, but not great. Got the bone-in-rib eye ("cowboy" cut) which was cooked well though cut a little thin for my liking. Au gratin potatoes good, but cut a little thick and I could do without the crunchy stuff on top. Creamed spinach good. Desert was great - molten chocolate cake with raspberries, chocolate ice cream and dark chocolate shavings. If there with a group of 5+, ask for the 7 layer cake (not on the menu but impressive)."

"A great special occasion location. Steaks very good but not excellent as the price would suggest. Wine list very extensive. Waiter very helpful. Helped us find our newest favorite wine. All in all a very enjoyable evening. May return again. However expect it to be very expensive - $100 - $150 or more per person."

"Absolutely amazing dining experience. My girlfriend's steak was rough and chewy and she barely mentioned it to the waiter and within minutes the GM and head chef came out and personally apologized, which was over and beyond anything we would have ever wanted. They comped the steak, comped our drinks, and brought us a platter of desserts. It was by far and away the most extravagant display of customer service I have ever seen in all my years dining at fine restaurants. I have dined at Bob's, Morton's, Ruth's Chris, etc. and experience at Nick and Sam's was bar none. I will be returning, and I will be recommending it to my friends and family.

Thank you Nick and Sam's"

"Every detail of our dinner was fantastic! The service was impeccable from the minute we walked in. I had the Filet, which was melt in your mouth outstanding. My husband had the Ribeye, which was still good, but not as good as the Filet. The portions are huge...would definitely recommend splitting side dishes, which our waiter was gracious enough to recommend even 1/2 orders! You definitely have to finish off with one of their desserts, we had the Chocolate Molten Souffle....outstanding!! Would definitely recommend Nick and Sam's to our friends and will definitely be back for more!"

"Do not go on Valentine's Day if you have a party of two. The table's are set up about a foot from each other and you are basically eating with people you do not know. The steak was good but I have had better for less money. The atmospere would probably have been better during the week. It is a romantic place, but not on Valentines's Day. Overall just good not great. I've been too numerous steak houses better than this for less money."

"Despite having a reservation for a month, we had to wait for an hour and a half to be seated. It was Valentines day and they obviously oversold and further had jammed rows of teeny tables in walkways to squeeze more customers in. When seated at a teeny temporary table we asked to be moved and the waitstaff promptly complied. We passed on the exceptionally overpriced Valentines specials our waiter tried to upsell us on and went for sharing the shrimp cocktail and each got 10 oz filets with the lobster mac n cheeseand the sauteed spinach. Food was extremely good and salvaged the evening. I am not sour on the place but won't go for Valentines day again."

"This was a very "happening" place. The decor reminded me of a 1920's restaurant for the wealthy. The bartender actually introduced himself and shook my hand, welcoming me to the restaurant. The complimentary caviar was great, with a wonderful presentation. Once in the dining room, the excellent service continued. All in the party were pleased with their dinner selections. My overall favorite side was the lobster macaroni. Too yummy for words. The only complaint anyone had was with the very small pours for wine ordered by the glass."

"We chose Nick & Sam's because it was rated highly. Unforunately, we went there to celebrate a romantic dinner for Valentine's and we couldn't even hear each other talk. Terribly loud atmosphere...both from loud people talking in large groups (surprised they were there in groups instead of couples) and also the continuous traffic of waiters carrying plates of food over our heads and bumping into the backs of our chairs. We felt like we were at a New York deli! Sorry to say that was not the night we envisioned and we will not return. We both had a filet mignon, but it wasn't seasoned well and I have had much better steak and sides at III Forks, the French Room, and Ruth's Chris. We will be going back to one of these in the future."

"Nick and Sam's remains the premier dining spot in the Dallas Market for us. Samir, the Executive Chef, really knows how to make his guests feel like Royalty. His personal touches, and his willingness to go the extra mile to ensure the satisfaction of his guests, is unparalleled. We are so glad to know him, and will return as often as we can. If you haven't visited the restaurant, it's a must-do for anyone who desires a truly unforgettable dining experience."

"Wow, what an AMAZING steak! I would dare to say the best I've ever had. The first bite of my medium-rare New York left me euphoric. The sides, lobster mac n' cheese and sauteed spinach, were also spectacular. They lent much more than aestheticism and greenery to my plate. In fact, they could have rightly stolen the show on their own! The service was exceptional, as was the decor and ambiance. I would undeniably recommend Nick and Sam's to anyone from or visiting Dallas!"

"The only real problem was that the steak was so charred that all you could taste was the char. I LOVE ribeye and all I tasted was char. I could have been that it was ordered as "warm rare" and that was exactly what I got, so that is BIG kudos there. It is just the char issue that was a big distraction. Also, the wait staff just could not get the fact that my girlfriend does not drink, and they kept offering her drinks. The complementary caviar starter and port at the end of the meal were a really nice touch."

"We went to dinner for an early Valentine's day because my wife was going to have our first baby the next day. They welcomed her by name when we came in and throughout the meal, people congratulated her on our first baby. At the end of the meal, a lady brought a glass of champagne for me and sparkling apple cider for her on the house. That was a very special thank you, and we appreciated the attentiveness and care they gave us very much. It made for a very memorable evening, and we would certainly recommend them for special occasions in the future.
The food was wonderful as always. The steak is one of the best in town, the seafood was great, and the dessert was exceptional. My wife loves caviar, and the sample is always great."

"Appetizers and drinks were great, especially trio of tartare, as were sides (particularly delicious were the sauteed mushrooms). Service was very good by a number of different servers. However, steaks were a bit of a disappointment. My wife's filet ordered medium well was tough and lacked flavor (yes, I understand that medium well is not a "proper" way to consume a steak to many people, but other steakhouses can make this work, e.g. Morton's). My medium rare sirloin strip was about 30 second shy of what I would consider medium rare, and was overly chewy and needed help in the flavor department. Lobster tail was delicious, and between it and the other non-steak food, turned a 3 star review into a 4 star."

"Nick and Sam's never disappoints! We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and they had a card, confetti, and a candle in his dessert. We always have the crab cakes and they are the best in all of Dallas! The waiter always thinks to ask us if we want to half our side orders because they are so large and we don't always remember to ask for it! I had seabass and my husband had a ribeye. They were excellent as usual. We had the molten chocoate cake which was wonderful and the blueberry bread pudding which my husband loved!! We have been to all the steak and seafood places in DFW, but we always go back to Nick and Sam's!"

"We have been fans of Nick & Sams for years, however this experience was not a good one. My Bone-In Filet was about 50% gristle and unedible. The waiter noticed the problem and someone from management came to the table, apologized and gave us 2 chocolate truffles but made no price adjustment. I still paid $57 for a steak which I was unable to eat.Jim Caudle"

"My husband and I had a phenominal experience at Nick and Sams. We celebrated our anniversary there and it could not have been a better date! The staff was not just knowledgable, but very warm and welcoming. Our food was cooked to perfection. We have eaten in fine dining restaurants in LA, NYC, Chicago, Miami, etc. This place easily sits with the best of the best. It may even be considered better since we found it to be a value. We figure a comparable dinner in NYC would have cost around $350. We had a wonderful meal with a bottle of red, salad, filet, 3 sides and after dinner drinks for less then $200. Overall is was an A+! We will recommend it to all of our friends when they visit Dallas."

"Dinner at Nick & Sam's was, far and away, the best dining experience I've ever encountered. The food was expensive but worth every penny. My wife and I shared the crab cake appetizer and a bottle of wine and we each had a delicious steak with garlic mashed potatoes. After dinner we each enjoyed a cup of capuccino. Our total bill, including tip, was $224. The ambieance was perfect for a romantic date and the service was flawless. After we finished our capuccino's the manager invited us to have a complimentary drink at the bar. We assume this was their very classy way of saying that we had taken up that table for too long. Well played, the after dinner drinks were the perfect ending to a perfect dinner."

"DISAPPOINTING!!!
We chose to celebrate our Anniversary at Nick & Sam's. Our reservation was at 8:30 pm. We arrived at 8:15 pm. We DID NOT SIT DOWN UNTIL 9:15 pm. Nick & Sam's knows how to TAKE a reservation, but not how to HOLD a reservation. When we arrived no one asked to take my full-length coat. It was freezing, but we had to ask about a coat check.

9:15 pm - Seating. The Host said he would send appetizers. We were happy because we were STARVING. The freebie was a tiny oyster appetizer. Then we ordered a bottle of wine. Our waiter brought the wrong bottle. Our steak was undercooked.

NO ONE asked about our dinner on the way out. 2-3 hosts at exit.

DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. I wish we would have gone somewhere else."

"Visiting Dallas and went to dinner for New Years Eve. Food was wonderful, kinda noisy and we dined early 6:30pm. Waiter was good but was more interested in catering to the other tables that were seating more than two. We felt a bit ignored and that was disappointing as the food was wonderful. Serving of dessert and after dinner coffee was confusing as we ordered one itme received another from different waiter as ours seemed to have moved on. I guess because it was NYE a table for two was not attractive to the wait staff.
If I visit Dallas again I would try dining here again if it is not a holiday."

"Once again this place provided top notch food and atmosphere. The service could have been better for this wonderful place, but I also understand it was new years eve. This place is a must if you are celebrating a special night. (I proposed to my wife the first time we came here... Thanks chef Sam)"

"I had hear so much about Nick & Sams from my son. He went there for his senior prom so we decided to spend our Christmas Eve there with our family. The restaurant was beautiful when we arrived in the foyer. However, our table was RIGHT in front of the kitchen and the grand piano (which was located in the kitchen area). It was extremely loud hearing the trays crashing the in the kitchen area. The waiter or wonderful and the food was good, but overpriced when compared to other great steakhouses in Dallas.

Although I am happy to say we went to Nick and Sams and gave it a try, we probably won't return anytime soon. There are just too many other restaurants to choose from that don't put me by the loud kitchen and overcharge for what you get."

"B-day for my wife and 2 adult kids. Wonderful evening.
Food was terrific. The real difference was our wait person - Terri. She took great care of us. She is really good at what she does! It was a memorable evening for our entire family.

"My wife and I went for our first time on a Saturday night during the holiday vacation. It is difficult to rate a resturant during the Holiday's because they are always packed and loud. Although our table was not great, the food and service made up for it. We will go again."

"We've visited a number of times, and the overall experience is always 1st-rate. My only small complaint is drink prices. My colleague & I were celebrating, so we ordered Martini's.
A good drink was served--but there was no Top shelf brand called for so $14 a pop seems excessive. I'm from the East Coast (NY/CT), and I'd expect to pay that price in Manhattan--but that would've been during the ole good times in NYC...not Dallas, and not during what's arguably the worst GLOBAL recession/depression in ~ 60 years!

I just think that the drink prices should be ~ about 25% lower...but other than that admittedly small concern, the food, service, and overall dining experience remain consistently very good-excellent!"

"First time we have been there after 6:00pm and on a week day. It was a bit more energetic and noise level was a bit much for a good conversation. I recommend going at 5:00 or 5:30 when the restaurant is much quieter...much more of a relaxed environment and great for intimate conversations!

Other than my steak being cooked more like Medium RARE instead of Medium...it was GREAT!

Great food as always! Great Service! Love Harry, the GM"

"We went to Nick and Sam's for the first time on my birthday. We had read mixed reviews on various on-line sites. Starting from the valet service, to the hostess, to our waiter, everyone was very welcoming and friendly, but not too much so like some of the chain restaurants - just perfect. We had Chris for a waiter and he was wonderful. If you go here for the first time, it would be worth asking to sit in his section. The atmosphere, decorating and lighting is great for an intimate night out. The food was also really good. The steaks were delicious prime filets and the au gratin potatoes were probably the best I've had out. The staff there has a great attitude in terms of trying to make it a special experience for you."

"We will probably not return to Nick & Sam's, at least for a few years. The atmosphere and service were very good, but several dishes were mediocre. The appetizer calamari, side order haricot verts, side order mushrooms, and side order creamed corn were not as good as other restaurants of this level. In short, the cuisine did not live up to its price.
We did have one phenomenal dish; the au gratin potatoes side dish. The steaks were good. Our server was new and so she didn't know the answers to all of our questions regarding the menu, but she did well. The manager was gracious."

"Nick & Sam's did an excellent job. They took the time to find out it was my wife's birthday and had special complimentary champagne and an appetizer ready for us. We dined with close friends and they let us sit away from the busier traffic lanes in the restaurant. The best part of our dining experience was our waiter, he took the time to insure all of our needs were met and provided the "right amount" of attention to meet our dining needs. Nick & Sam's is great, you should go there."
